Comments on: What part of Zionist don’t you understand? https://www.yourish.com/2008/10/16/5465 Cutting straight to the point Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:06:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Alex Bensky https://www.yourish.com/2008/10/16/5465/comment-page-1#comment-33872 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:06:02 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=5465#comment-33872 I wrote to the Mennonite leader who was their representative in organizing that dinner for Ahmadinejad. Their website said they didn’t necessarily agree with him on all issues but deemed it important to hear from all sides. I asked her if at any time they had every hosted or helped to host a meeting for an Israeli representative. I have received no answer; perhaps she’s busy getting ready to host a dinner for israelis.

But we now see the resurrection of the “we’re not anti-Israel, we’re anti-Likud” trope, which will be hauled out if Likud wins the next election. In other words, we’re OK with threatening to wipe out Israel if it’s elected government doesn’t suit our political disposition.

Reminds me of Golda Meir’s remark [I paraphrase] that what the world wants is a nice, moderate, progressive, dead Jewish people.

But Amir Taheri is the same guy who fabricated a report that Iran was going to force its Jews (and other religious minorities) to wear distinctive badges. Taheri simply isn’t a credible journalist.
